For Pet Parents | Salmon Oil

Happy Tuesday everyone! This morning I fed my little fur baby his breakfast and mixed in his daily dose of salmon oil. Just like humans, dogs benefit from omega-3 fatty acids as well. Not only does it help keep lubricate their skin and fur soft, but it also helps their joints, brain development, and organ health. Sure, Omega-3 can be found in a lot of pet food already but not in sufficient amounts so it can be extremely beneficial to add to their diet.

I have tried 3 different brands of salmon oil and the one I like the most (and I'm assuming Tuck does too) is the "Mmmm...Salmon Sauce" by I And Love And You. I really like how it doesn't smell as fishy as the other the ones, in fact, it doesn't really smell at all. I have been using it for about a month now and have seen great improvement in Tucker's coat! His skin has been dry lately so it was a relief to see the reduced amount of flakiness. I had to stop giving him salmon oil for a little while because the one I used before gave him diarrhea (tmi...sorry) and I thought it was salmon oil in general but turns out it was just the brand and that's why I switched.

I have been trying different products from I And Love And You because of reasons that you can find in my previous post, here...I love everything this company is about:) *and no, this is NOT sponsored.

It is so hard to find companies out there who truly care about animal health. I am so happy to have found one that does! To me, Tucker is more than a pet, he's family and he deserves to be happy and healthy.

**I am in no way a professional about this sort of stuff so make sure to consult your vet before starting anything like this.**

Talk to you soon! xx

Tucker Tuesdays

Hi guys! I haven't decided quite yet but I'm going to try this out for awhile. Just like my What I Want Wednesdays posts, I am thinking of sharing Tucker related things on tuesdays. If you don't already know, Tucker is my sweet, adorable Brittany puppy that I love tremendously. Now it's not necessarily going to be all about Tucker specifically but I do know there are a lot of pet parents out there so I figured I could share my favorite pet food, toys, treats, etc. along with training tips and other things that I know I look for when I'm looking for food or toy reviews to hopefully help some of you out and even the process I went through to determine what kind of puppy was going to be right for me to help out those of you who want a dog but can't decide what breed would be a perfect fit for you.

Moving along, I am always looking for new treats for my pup. I am also a huge believer in feeding him food with ingredients that I am familiar with...same with our food! I mean, who really wants to eat something that contains an ingredient no one can even really pronounce?! anyway, I have been giving Tuck treats by Zuke's ever since I brought him home and I really like the fact they use natural ingredients. I give him the soft treats which are extremely convenient for training since they're pretty small and easy to carry around. They also have a variety of flavors which I like to believe makes it that enjoyable for dogs. Again, we (as humans) like variety when it comes to our diet so why not provide the same for our pets?

Along with Zuke's, which I use specifically for training, I like using jerky treats by I and Love and You when I feel like giving Tuck a treat just because:) I didn't know this particular brand existed until I came across their salmon oil when I was looking for a new bottle (which I also recommend, will do a review on and will explain why I like using it in a future post) that I mix with Tucker's food because it contains DHA and makes his coat so soft and shiny. 

One of the reasons why I love this company, besides the adorable name, is they truly care about providing the best quality products for pets AND they donate food to several no-kill shelters and adoption centers. In addition, they use USDA/FDA registered facilities, human quality ingredients and free-range, cage-free, wild-caught meat. There are a lot of pet food companies that use animal by-products which do not provide all the nutrients our pets need. I know treats aren't meant to provide a huge source of nutritional value but they're still being consumed so it is important that they contain similar ingredients. I and Love and You has a wide range of products from food, treats, supplements, etc. so definitely check them out if you are in the market for any of those things. It will definitely be worth it!

If you try anything out or want to recommend any treats you give your pet feel free to leave it in a comment down below! I'd love to check it out.

Naturally I have to end this with a picture of Tuck on the way to the park with his Dad :)
